Hello *,

I have following server:

<storrage00.tdnet.eu>   (store all the UNIX users and
                         there content)

<mail.tamay-dogan.net>  (has <storrageNN> over NFS mounted)

<pgsql>                 (non public)

<tdhome.net>            (access all the ~/public_html/
                         on the <storrageNN> servers)

<tdcloud.net>           (access private date on
                         )

<vserver00.tdnet.eu>    (store websites and can access ~/web/
                         over NFS on <storrageNN> servers)

All the users where created on <storage00> as "normal"  UNIX  users  and
there login name is also there email address.  So, now you can  imagine,
that this give problems if <mail> is responsable for different  domains,
where maybe two users have the same names...

So my idea is, to use a script an rename all UNIX users by  a  construct
like
        user00001
        user00002
        user00003
        etc

and then use the /etc/courier/aliases/  directory  to  point  the  EMail
adresses to the new user construct.

Do you think, this is OK?

I mean, I do absolutely not want  to  use  LDAP.   But  I  can  use  the
PostgreSQL to use the mapping or whatever is required.  I  mean,  I  can
use pam_pgsql and courier authpgsql.

Since my users can creathe ANY mail names of there  choice,  every  user
has a ~/.courier_aliasses file which is maped  to  /etc/courier/aliases/
and whatched by a cron process for changes which run "makealiases".

Question:   Is there a limitation in the number if files or symlinks  in
            the /etc/courier/aliases/ directory? I think also  on  using
            my PostgreSQL for all this aliasses and  generate  only  one
            file automated which then run "makealiases"

            Any suggestions?

Thanks in avance
